- Description
- The United States Air Force (the Government) intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price order to a single source Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) on or about 1 Jan 2025. The period of performance (PoP) shall be 12 months from receipt of award with 2 Option years, Year 1 will begin on 1 Jan 2025. PSC: 7630 NAICS: 513120 Size Standard: 1000 Software name: Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Supplier name: Royal Sociery of Chemistry (RSC) Product description: The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Library has a requirement for a chemistry and chemical engineering/science literature collection that meets the laboratory's mission to ""lead the discovery, development, and integration of warfighting technologies for our air, space and cyberspace forces."" The AFRL library supports civilian, contractor, and military personnel, primarily scientists and engineers (S&Es), assigned to four AFRL technical directorates which include Aerospace Systems, Airman Systems, Materials and Manufacturing, and Sensors. The AFRL library provides research materials, including databases, electronic books, journals and other services, to all AFRL S&Es at Wright-Patterson AFB. The library acquires materials that are made available to civilian, contractor, and military employees across the laboratory units at Wright Site. The required scientific journal collection will help the AFRL Library meet the above mission by providing the library users with research materials to meet the requirements of the AFRL�s research and development goals. This resource needs a highly-focused scope on the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering/science and to offer a tailored collection of electronic journals for scientists and engineers (S&Es) that provides access to full-text titles, primarily peer-reviewed articles. Due to the differing research missions of the individual AFRL technical directorates that the library supports, the required literature collection needs to be all-inclusive of the different materials and allow S&Es the ability to effectively and efficiently research the required transportation engineering topics. The resource needs to provide full-text access to the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) electronic journals. These resources need to be made available through the AFRL library's website via the EZproxy authentication service, as well as, provide their own interface that can be accessed through an independent website. This resource needs to allow material to be downloaded to provide offline access in situations with low or no internet access. The resource needs to provide online research tools from professionally curated and/or peer-reviewed sources that offer trusted information in abstracts, articles, and electronic journals with a focus on the subject areas listed above. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the Government. The Government will consider responses received within 5 days of issuance of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a full and open competitive procurement or a small business set aside competitive procurement.
